PADI Drift Diver

The fun in Drift diving is that you can just jump in and kind of "see what happens". There is no swimming involved if you do things right. The word already suggests it. You drift. 45 minutes of pure relaxation while the current takes you from one end of the reef to the other while you just look at it's beauty and take pictures. There is a catch of course. You need to take the pictures right in one go, since the current doesn't pause for you to take another shot. (You can always take a PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty to get better at taking pictures)

There are many ways to dive a dive site, but drift diving is definitely the most relaxed way to do it.
okay, of course there wouldn't be a specialty if there wasn't more to learn about it.As with any other underwater activities there are little dangers to avoid and planning to be completed. In a single day you'll know all about it. The drift dives will be planned on the same day or another convenient time.
